Yeah, the question is what model was the '85 351 HO in and what model was the '96 351 in. By the way, the '85 351 HO and the '96 351 you have are both 351Ws.

If you are talking about to similar trucks and the price is cheap, buy them and see if it works. If the '96 you are talking about is a F350, you might have problems, The Dana 60HP causes clearance issues with many longtube headers. I know the Flowtech longtubes will work, but a lot of others will not. I have heard the E4OD can cause clearance problems between the pan and collector, so this is another place to look if you have an E4OD.
